-	 * supported on linux. So arguments 6 and 7 are stuffed in a struct
-	 * and a pointer to that struct is passed as the 6th argument to
-	 * the syscall.
-	 * Glibc stuffs arguments 6 and 7 in a ulong[2]. Linux reads
-	 * them as if there were a struct { sigset_t*; size_t } in
-	 * userspace. There woudl be trouble if userspace and the kernel are
-	 * compiled differently enough that size_t isn't the same as ulong,
-	 * but not enough to trigger the compat layer in linux. I can't
-	 * think of such a case, so I'm using linux's struct.
-	 * Furthermore Glibc sets the sigsetsize to _NSIG/8. However linux
-	 * checks for sizeof(sigset_t), which internally is a ulong array.
-	 * This means that if _NSIG isn't a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG then
-	 * linux will refuse glibc's value. So I prefer sizeof(sigset_t) for
-	 * the value of sigsetsize.
